After our blog about the best cities to meet men, we received many comments from women who believe they live in the worst city to meet men. We took these comments and put out a request to our readers to compile our own list of the worst cities to meet men. Here are the top responses listed in no particular order.1. Miami, FL- The very name conjures up images of beautiful people on beautiful beaches. Our sources tell us that the men of Miami have spent so much time gazing at the airbrushed babes on the Miami brochures that they think this should be the standard for all the ladies who live there.
I received a note from one woman who said that she was approached by a man in a bar who told her that she could easily get her nose fixed. I'm hoping that this was a plastic surgeon trying an unconventional way to get business, rather than someone clueless enough to think that this is a good pick-up line. Of course the woman didn't stick around long enough to find out.
2. Los Angeles- Once again a sunny city with a reputation for being filled with beautiful people, so what could be wrong with it? I have to admit, that in all my research LA seems like a very bad place to meet men. If you search for blogs about women chronicling their dating problems you will find that the majority of them are written by women in LA.
As far as the particulars, I received complaints about the city being "too big" and "filled with too many actors." This had me puzzled, because no one mentioned New York City which is bigger and has its own share of actors. I gained insight when I received an email that said "I expected everyone to be nicer here but they're just as rude as New York." So maybe women just have higher expectations than they should when it comes to finding love in LA.
3. Detroit- The complaints I heard most about this city were that it "has no young people" and "anyone worthwhile moves out." Statistics show that Detroit is one of the worst cities in the 18-24 category and not much better in the 25-35 category. As someone living in Nashville I can vouch for the fact that we have an enormous number of people that have moved from Detroit. So if you're single in Detroit you may need to consider dating older men or moving south.
4. Austin, TX- The same thing that makes many say it's a great place for singles is what makes others say it's the worst--the colleges. I've gotten lots of comments like "Unless you're in college, everyone is married." So if you're a college student, be sure to find that special someone now! It'll be slim pickings a few years past graduation.
5. Pittsburgh, PA- I received a few complaints about there being "no men worth dating," but the biggest complaint was that there was nowhere for singles to meet. One woman summed it up like this "the are no good bars or restaurants for singles, even the sporting events are filled with married men." So if you were thinking about becoming a sports fan to meet men, I've just saved you a bundle on season tickets.
So there are our 5 worst cities to meet men. It's very different from other lists since they usually give high ratings to any cities that have a high 18-24 population. This age group has the easiest time meeting other singles no matter where they live, so it was definitely more fun to get input directly from the ladies who live in these cities.

Los Angeles: The problem here is every woman is gorgeous. The Men cannot settle down and are always tempted. Or the Men are very flaky. Its a horrible place to be single. I do notice the woman there are also spoiled, DO have high expectations....If you find a man who will commit, he is more than likley not attractive. Its the city of self help and kooks. Just stay away.
Someone told me once that a good place to meet single men is at grocery stores on a Monday night. Apparently men don’t like to take time out of their weekend schedules to buy food, and the crowds tend to be smaller early in the week as well. The next time I went grocery shopping on a Monday night I paid attention, and, well, this person was right.

Come on. Miami, LA, Austin, and Pittsburgh aren't that bad. I don't know about Detroit, though. But Atlanta, it one of the worst cities to meet men because the crime rate, especially sex crimes, is so high, it's not very touristy and plus men, often have rigid expectations of women, due to their ultra-conservative Southern Christian beliefs, meaning they take the Bible too literally, nor do they have manners, class and personality. To them, having manners is usually based on gender. In other words, they're sexist and ignorant. So, therefore, if you are a single female living in Atlanta, you might as well move out to a more modernized city, if you can, instead because men in Atlanta can be pretty abusive and you'll end up miserable and/or dead if you always try to measure up to their extremely high expectations. It happens a lot in the local news.
